I'm a full-time mummy

One of my Facebook follower asked me to blog about how I prepare the solids for my girl when I posted pictures of my kids' meals on my Facebook page. So here it goes the tutorial for Pumpkin Puree:

** Personal Note:

I normally cut the pumpkin to half and steam it on different batches (and each batch lasts about 2-3 days). With my 1st child, I actually use the entire pumpkin and steam it and store everything but it takes a long time to finish up so nowadays with my 2nd child, I prefer to use half instead and steam enough storage for 2-3 days so I could switched to other veggies after that and then switched back to pumpkin.

To prepare this, what I normally do is cut the pumpkin into half, then by slices about 1 inch thick and remove the seeds and skins. Then I will cubed them into 1 inch cubes and wash it with boiled room temperature water and steam them for about 20 minutes or until they are soft (I poked one of the pumpkin cubes using fork or chopstick. If they go through and soft to the touch, it's ready).

With pumpkin, I don't blend it further as I normally steam until they are soft. Serve or store the rest in freezer/fridge (for lesser quantity). If you noticed my picture, I also steamed the pumpkin together with the carrots, peas and corns, to save time! :)

This is a tutorial post on how to redeem App Store promo codes on your iPad. I feel I need to blog this down as I have received numerous questions from people who won free apps on my blog giveaways. Please note that the screenshot and tutorial shown is based on using iPad (I don't have any other iOS devices) So here it goes:

1. Open the 'App Store' application on your iPad. Tap the 'Featured' tab on the bottom of the screen. Look for the 'Redeem' button and tap it.

2. The 'Redeem' screen will pop up asking you to key in your promo code. I normally will copy the promo code I received and paste directly onto the entry field. Tap the 'Redeem' option at the top right of the screen.

3. Most likely you will see the 'Sign-In Required' screen as shown below. You will need to log in your Apple Store ID and password in order to proceed further. Once you have entered your ID and password, tap the 'Continue' button.

(*Note: Please do not ask me what ID and password as I do not own your iPad!)

4. The app will then be downloaded onto your iPad.

Hope the above tutorial will be able to help you in redeeming your promo codes!

One of my Facebook follower asked me to blog about how I prepare the solids for my girl when I posted pictures of my kids' meals on my Facebook page. So here it goes the tutorial for Carrots Corn & Green Peas Puree:

** Personal Note: Take the amount of Carrots, Corn & Green Peas you wanted and steam them for about 10-15 minutes or until the veggies are soft (I gauged using the carrots). After that, blend to the consistency you wanted and serve or store in freezer.

When I prepared this for Ben 2 years ago, I actually peeled off the skins of the green peas after steaming! Am not sure whether it's good to do that or not but I'm not doing this anymore with Alyson now... too lazy and tiring to do this I guess!

Hope the above tutorial helps! Feel free to ask questions or share your feedback/experiences!
